At this point, the New York Yankees might as well put on their PJs and go to sleep, because it looks like their offseason is over. Every player they have been interested in, from Kazuma Okamoto to Tatsuya Imai to now, another star ace has signed with another team. And the Yankees fans are not happy with how Brian Cashman is handling this.

It was reported by Ken Rosenthal that, “Cubs close to acquiring RHP Edward Cabrera from Marlins.”

The Chicago Cubs are finalizing a trade with the Miami Marlins to acquire Edward Cabrera, adding control through 2028. Miami will receive a package of position-player prospects, including top outfielder Owen Caissie, long targeted while medical records were reviewed. Cabrera posted a 3.53 ERA, struck out 150 batters, and threw 137 2/3 innings across 26 starts in 2025.

Yankees fans are frustrated with Brian Cashman, seeing the Cubs move decisively while New York’s offseason remains quiet. The team has made only minor additions, including Trent Grisham on a $22.25 million qualifying offer, missing out on Kazuma Okamoto and Tatsuya Imai.

The perception of inactivity amplifies frustration as the Yankees risk entering the season with a weakened rotation behind key injured starters.

Rumors linked the Yankees to Cabrera for weeks, creating hope that a significant addition was imminent before Chicago acted. Jon Heyman confirmed the Yankees were never close, leaving fans realizing New York failed to compete for the high-upside starter.

This revelation highlights a misstep in front office urgency and adds to an already quiet winter, missing impactful names.

Without Cabrera, the Yankees’ rotation appears fragile with Max Fried, Luis Gil, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Yarbrough. The team lacks a frontline starter capable of keeping games close while Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón recover from injuries.

If New York does not pursue additional pitching help, their early-season struggles could compromise the 2026 campaign before it even begins.

Brian Cashman watched Edward Cabrera land in Chicago while Yankees fans refreshed feeds, annoyed. Ken Rosenthal’s report confirmed the Chicago Cubs acted decisively, leaving New York linked only to rumors. Owen Caissie heads to Miami, and the Yankees’ offseason quietly closes without answers again.
